Very bright and clean aromas, an explosion of juicy bright raspberry and red plum fruit. Very fine tannins, great intensity and a fresh acidity to finish. Sensational wine this year!
COS is an acronym from the initials of the family names of the original three owners of this estate, founded in 1980: (Giambattista) Cilia, (Giusto) Occhipinti and (Cirino) Strano. Over the years Strano opted to dedicate himself completely to his medical job and so the estate has been run by Cilia and Occhipinti. They believe in organic and biodynamic farming, as well as the use of large 150-liter terracotta amphoras to make and age their wines–such as, for example, their excellent Pithos Rosso. Unlike many other estates in Italy that are also involved in organic and natural winemaking, COS has long distinguished itself for clean, pure, varietally accurate wines.
